SOCW 6051 wk10 Power Point– Diversity Awareness & Self Reflection

In the profession of social work, there is an expectation that all service providers and professionals provide culturally responsive interventions and considerations to diverse individuals, groups, and communities.

 At the same time, the topic of diversity has the potential to create discomfort. How do social workers continue to not only engage in difficult conversations, but to also acknowledge and confront the layers of discomfort? 

Learning about local diversity and attending cultural events is one way to challenge one’s perspective and engage with diverse others. 

For this Assignment, participate in an immersive experience in your community. As a guest at this experience, remember to take a stance of cultural humility and respectfully participate. 

You then create a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation about this experience in which you analyze related concepts in the course. 

To Prepare: Attend an open event in your community related to a diverse social identity (gender identity/expression, race/ethnicity, class, religion, ability, sexual orientation, national origin, or age). Then, create a PPT presentation
